Recovery

They opened the door and stumbled inside. George and Sapnap helped Dream to the sofa, where he laid down. His nose had now stopped bleeding but his lip hadn't. He held his side groaning but not loud enough for the guys to know he was in pain.
         Sapnaps eye had begun to swell and bruise but he was too worried about Dream to care, he went upstairs to grab a cold compress for it while George stayed downstairs with Dream.
George came back into the living room with a wet towel. He sat down beside Dream and placed it on his lip, wiping the blood off gently.

"Are you okay?" Dream said softly.

George laughed "Are you really asking me that".

"I'm serious" Dream said sternly to which George said "yes I'm completely fine Dream just a few grazes, nothing I can't handle" .

Dream went to laugh but swiftly stopped as it was too painful and he grabbed at his side.

"Can I see?" George muttered concerned.

        Dream just groaned as George lifted up the side of his top. The whole of the left side of Dreams torso was completely bruised, his ribs were black and blue.

"Oh my god Dream, this really isn't good".

Dream instantly pulled his top back down "I'm fine George" he managed "it will heal".

George rolled his eyes and placed the wet towel onto his side and Dream let out a massive 'OW'

"Stop being a big wuss" George said, "you're meant to be the brave one".

Dream managed a slight giggle and gritted his teeth through the pain. After George had finished applying the cold towel to Dreams side, Dream sat up and rubbed his finger tenderly across a small graze just beneath George's eye.

"Thank you" he said.

George reached up his hand to meet Dreams and replied "No, Thank you. I don't know what those guys would have done if you hadn't of been there".

"I guess you owe me then" Dream muttered teasingly to which George just laughed.

Sapnap came running down the stairs all cleaned up, the swelling was still bad but he was more concerned about the others. Dream didn't want George to tell him about how bad his injuries were so George promised not to tell him as long as he treated it appropriately.
       They didn't let the events ruin their day, they all sat and chilled for the rest of the day and watched movies. Sapnap ordered some snacks to the house instead as none of them was willing to try for a second time.

"I'm sorry" Dream said whilst George was picking the next film. Both of them turned to look at him.

"for what" they both exclaimed.

"All of that was my fault" Dream said guiltily, looking down at the floor "all of it, now you two are hurt and it's all on me. I've ruined everything, I put my two bestfriends in danger I knew this would happen".

       Dream looked down in despair clearly very upset at what had happened, Sapnap moved closer to dream.

"Hey look at me man" Dream looked up at Sapnap.

"You did the right thing today, you did good, me and George have been here until now and we'll be here after. It doesn't matter what happens, we're in this till the end" He smiled.

"Plus, pretty sure they got hit a lot harder than us, did you see Dreams? He was in his hulk arc" Sapnap laughed.

They all burst into laughter, "Okay" Dream stated "Thank you both".

They continued to sit there for the rest of the night. Watching films, munching on snacks it was great. They were all exhausted and had no problem falling into a deep, heavy sleep.
